Have you ever wished you could talk to the animals? Well, at Zaksee’s, not only can you talk to the birds, but many will talk to you as well. Just ask Chaos, our spunky little cockatoo, and he may politely tell you to "get down". Or maybe Sonny will sing Happy Birthday to you, because every day is Sonny’s birthday.
Just like the people we know, every one of our birds is a unique and valued member of our sanctuary. They receive individual attention and interaction during morning feedings, during snack times and throughout the day. Some will even ask you for their favorite treat, Want a Cracker? Want Popcorn? We are passionate about providing each parrot the attention they so desperately deserve along with the care they need. Part of that care is being able to talk to the birds while interacting with them during feeding time, or play time, and not being shy about playing little birdie games with them. Peek-a-boo. Knock-knock, and dancing are favorites.
If all else fails, just come say "Hello" and see how many replies you get.

About Zaksee Florida Bird Sanctuary, Inc
Location:
7647 Gardner Rd, Tampa, FL 33625, US
Mission Statement
Our mission is to be the best (exotic) Bird Sanctuary in Florida, and a full care facility for orphaned exotic birds. We are a loving, nurturing refuge for Macaws, Cockatoos, Amazons, African Greys, Eclectus Parrots, Sun Conures and various other exotic birds. Zaksee Florida Bird Sanctuary is an important step in helping no-longer wanted, unloved or abused parrots find their forever home. We never breed nor sell our rescued friends.
Description
Established in 2010, Zaksee Florida Bird Sanctuary was created for one reason only, "to provide a safe, and loving home for orphaned parrots that truly need care". Our sanctuary is nestled in a surprisingly unsuspected suburb of Tampa, Fl., located on 5 unspoiled acres surrounded by rolling streams of fresh water, and luscious tropical greenery. The ambiance is a breathtaking combination of natural Florida beauty and our man-made habitats. Due to the nature of our location and residents, we are continually working to upgrade our existing habitats, while constructing new aviaries for our growing population. It is a labor of love.
Our compassionate love for orphaned parrots, of all types, is what drives our sanctuary. Each and every bird in our care receives personal attention and interaction at feeding time and throughout the day. We provide a loving home and a safe haven for parrots in an environment of spacious aviaries, allowing them to fly freely, yet safely, while exercising those big beautiful wings as nature intended. We never breed, nor sell our birds, but strive to provide the love and attention they so desperately deserve. Our list of birds waiting for placement grows daily, however we try to accommodate parrots requiring our immediate attention.
We are not funded by the government, nor any corporation, but depend on the generosity of donors and volunteers like you.
